บท 64: The Stone of Split

Evan wasn't surprised by Zak's words. He understood that most likely the Whitehead Family had such a bad reputation for certain reasons. They were vile and cruel people, but not unique. Their methods were no different from those who were so full of themselves.

The young man took a sip and said quietly: "Commander, does all their wealth come from selling slaves?"

Evan understood that the slave trade was very lucrative, though immoral for many people. He thought it was what brought the Whitehead Family most of its income, but that wasn't quite true.

"Sure, they get a lot of money for selling slaves, but that's not their main profit. They do something worse than that. I told you before that the Whitehead Family makes people in the villages work in the mines. But one of the mines is rather special."

Evan didn't interrupt and listened intently. He wondered what was in this mine if it brought in so much money.
